In a world where Japanese games are being censored left and right by a certain major game company who will not be named, we North American anime game fans are left high and dry most times when it comes to the latest releases. Sure, we can still pony up our cash for these neutered experiences, but what's the point? Thankfully Nintendo is here with the Switch, and so far they haven't forced anyone to censor their stuff, allowing for wonderful uncut experiences. Enter Moero Chronicle Hyper for the Nintendo Switch, possibly the lewdest game to come out on a Nintendo console thus far! It's a by the numbers dungeon crawler at it's core, with an excellent auto-mapping system, and some erm... rock-solid gameplay.
What sets Moero Chronicle Hyper apart from other dungeon crawlers though is the method which is used to recruit your party members. As you journey through the dungeons you will occasionally run into a recruitable monster girl with which whom you will be immediately thrust into battle. Sure you can just deliver a beatdown and defeat them, however that will just result in them running away only to come after you again later on. Instead you have to work on... erm... defeating their outfit. Wrecking their clothes will leave them vulnerable to.. I'm not even making this up... "bumping scratch" mode where you basically grope the monster girl into submission. Success here will result in them joining your party. It's completely lewd AF, but that's honestly the point here.
So when it comes right down to it Moero Chronicle Hyper has some great dungeon crawling gameplay, an incredibly cute aesthetic with no shortage of adorable monster girls, decent voice acting, and the music is good too. The graphics have a major upgrade from the original PC version, and it runs better to boot. The only thing that could really be a dealbreaker here is if you just don't care for lewdness, and if that's the case why are you even here? Idea Factory have gone out of the way to be decidedly un-subtle about what this game is. So if you like dungeon crawling goodness with a whole lot of lewd monster girls shoved up it's arse, then I can wholeheartedly recommend Moero Chronicle Hyper. Just don't play it in public with the sound turned up. That could get awkward.
